Just went back and did the last, last mission Damn that was unexpectedly good.

Spoiler for Ending:

I loved the whole of the last mission, especially the end, totally didn't expect John to die right there, it's so rare that the main character dies just like that so it actually surprised me, good stuff! And then Jack ends up replacing his dad. Now that's an epic ending, a little sad that it goes against everything John wanted but oh well, I wanna become that Legend of the west!

There's one more mission in Blackwater. It's a stranger mission. After that you'll see the credits roll.

I really enjoy the art of narrative, and Red Dead Redemption does do something different in terms of execution. It is a very simple story, but the way it is told is very organic. In a sense that you're actually living the character. You get the feeling that you are in control of yourself but not in control of the grand scheme of things. This feeling also helped me feel frustrated at the "bad guys" of the story and empathize with the "good guys".

I hope that made sense. If you're looking for a story that would fuck your mind like Memento or something, this is not it. If you're looking for an epic trilogy kind of ending like Lord of the Rings this isn't it either. This is more emotional and very very very simple. Very very elementary, boils it down to the basic feelings. Kind of like Shadow of the Colossus (super simple story, super simple ending, but gets to you right?)

You know, I was expecting something like this, Why did ross just 'let' marston go back to his wife and son and not kill him after he got rid of dutch? And the missions which were there to showcase his bonding with his family were always overshadowed by the fact that you knew something was going to go terribly wrong.

The only real cool thing about the ending was the red dead redemption logo popping up before the credits.

^I beat mine a couple days ago, waiting for a friend to come back to try out the multiplayer.

It was some what repetitive but due to it's short length it didn't bother me. It was a great revisit with zombies. I would've preferred them to let us hang out with the old characters a bit longer, a different ending and a much more apocalyptic showdown. Zombies definitely need to be more threatening too.
